A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
Seven Prisoners Overpower the Bolton
,Jailer and Escape.

Seven Prisoners Overpower the Bolton
Jailer and Escape.
Special to the Gazette.
Bolton, Ten, Feb. 22.-At O'Clock
this evening persons in the vicinity of the
county Jail heard loud cries of murder
and help issuing from .he grated windows
of that building, and those who first came
in sight of the front door saw seven
prisoners rush out and scatter 10 various
directions. Three ran down Nolan creek,
making for the Leon bottoms, three ran
up the creek with the cedar brake as their
hope of escape, the seventh and most
daring of the lot ran to where the fine
bay horse of Mr.. Nanness was hitched,
between the jail and the square, and,
rapidly cutting the stakerope, sprang
upon the horse and waving pistol over
his head rode up Pearl street with a shrill
yell. An investigation of the matter re-
vealed the fact that the jailer had been
overpowered and locked inside the cage.
His statement of the matter obtained
through the bars was that he had
unlocked the cage TO put in q
new prisoner, when the seven who
escaped were waiting with blankets which
they Immediately threw over his head,
took the keys from him, unlocked the
doors, let themselves out and locked him
up. Up to this hour every effort to re
lease him has proved fruitless, and it is
probable that he will spend the night in
the cage, and the capture of none of the
prisoners has yet been reported, although
officers Were IN hot pursuit within five
minutes after the escape. The pames Of
the prisoners who escaped were John Nc
Donald, W. Z. Jones, sentenced to four
years for assault with intent to rape;
TOde Estes, charged with murder; Nc
Kinnerry, convicted of theft of saddle;
Richard Stockton, w. Jacobs and Jerome
w. Hawkins, sentenced for five years for
horse theft The last named was decid-
eddy the leader of the gang, and was the
one who got of with Mr.. Vanness' horse
and the jailer's pistol. He il considered
tough case and is reported to have
served out more than one term in the
safe prison for horse theft. The chance
for the immediate recapture of the es-
capped prisoners is not good owing to the
quickly approaching darkness and rough
ness of the adjacent country.

If Speaker Carlisle should be appointed
Secretary of the Treasury to succeed Mr..
Manning the public confidence in the
fiscal management of the government
would remain unimpaired. There Is no

that time has done much to silence
criticism, and has shown what it could
accomplish aided by a more liberal policy

THE fight goes on in the New Jersey
with little change; So to So, is
the way 1t stood at the late ballot In
the meantime new Richmond has enter
ed the field in the person OF Ex-Governor
Bedle, who in three days has captured
three votes. He is encouraged to believe
in his final success because of the fact
that in the convention of 1881 Garfield
began with one vote, and ended in being
the nominee. Abbott seems no nearer
the gaol than month ago, and the Jersey
men go on exhibiting the phlegm and
persistence of their Dutch ancestry.

If SOLOMON had lived in our day he
would have said, "Who can lind good
cook? Her price is above rubies." That
a high value is set upon such acquire
ments is shown in the fact that woman,
murdered in New York not long since,
was found to have accumulated $500 in
her vocation as cook She cannot be SAID
TO have died in vain if the fact impresses
itself that to learn proficiency in that
line can lead to fortune, and at the same
time disabuse the miLd of the cook that
to be murdered is not necessary result.

Don't Be DISCOURAGED.

In conducting reforms discourage
ments are met at every turn; this only
goes to show that the devil is still alive
and at work. 1t was St. Paul who
wrote: eve are troubled on every
side, yet not distressed; we are per-
picked, but not in despair; prosecuted,
but not forsaken; cast down, but not
destroyed. E" And it was that brave,
unselfsh man, Sir Philip Sidney, who,
when hard-pTessed. shouted cut: "Re-
member that in all things lamenting
becomes fools, and action wise folk. y
Head winds are stimulating; they bring
out the ingenuity and the pluck Of the
navigator.
Those politicians who hatch out their
unpatriotic schemes in the taverns and
saloons have made an alliance offensive
and defensive with the rum-sellers, big
and little. Society is being classified.
1t is also being awakened. People
everywhere are saying: eve have
had enough of this curse" There is
no difficulty in seeing which side is
growing. Science, religion and common
sense all unite in commencing our
cause. Pouring alcohol into these
God-contrived bodies of ours to derange
their operation and weaken them is
the maddest of mad acts.
Shall the rising generation be saved
from this great danger? The rum
sellers say: mo, we want their
money"
Ye vampires who despoil our homes,
and suck the blood of our boys, we'll
see about it,-M 7, Pioneer,

RUNS Work Cup North"

"The United States has passed a law
declaring that in Alaska there shall be
no sale of alcohol except for med
ical and scientific purposes. San Fran
ciscos chooners come to Alaska
ports with cargoes of whisky labeled
FLORIDA Water" BAY Eum," "Pain
Killer, Jamaica Ginger" etc, receiv-
ing in exchange the finest furs. The
people all drink, and men, women and
children are inveterate smokers. Two
thousand white people, with the excep-
ton of few missionaries and the bet
ter class of Government officials, have
spent most of their time degrading the
$4,000 natives in every thing that fiend-
ish ingenuity could invent. In one
winter 400 of the natives starved to
death, having battered tSeir furs, ivory
and whalebone for rum, and spent
their summer in idleness, instead of
preparing for winter. The condition of
women in Alaska beggars description.
Converted mothers confess to the mis-
sionaries that they killed their girl chill
dren as an act of love, 50 that they
might never know the curse of grown
up womanhood. n-FrGnces E. Willard.

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

THERE are now in Paris about 49,
500 public houses and 5000 wine
shops.
A LAW has been passed in Switzer-
land making the sale of liquors a State
monopoly. One-tenth of the profits of
all sales are to be devoted to the Tenn
perance cause.
IT seems that the average per head
in this country for whisky is $15, and
for bread So. We don't see what some
people want with so much bread. -
Baltimore Herald.
ONE of the most successful organize
tons for Temperance work in Great
Britain is "the Travellers Total Absti-
nence Union" Gospel Temperance
mission among show people. Over
1920 actors have united with the So
ciety and find it great source of
strength in their lives, usually open to
temptation.
PRESIDENT HARRIS, of the Northern
Pacific, has just issued orders that no
property of the company shall be let
for the purpose of selling liquor. It.
will, therefore, be consistent on that
road to refuse to employ men who
drink too much, or, indeed, who drink
ardent spirits at all. The Temperance
principle can be advanced more by
railroad companies and other large
employers than by statute laws

Organizing Building Trades.

CHICAGO, April 12.-The amalgamated
council of the builders trades held it's
third preliminary meeting Sunday after
noon and adopted a constitution. A per-
manent organization will be effected next
Sunday. The trades represented in the
council are the stone cutters, carpenters,
painters, plasterers, fathers, gas-fitters,
stair builders, skaters, galvanized-iron
and cornice men, derrick men and
bod carriers, each trade being allowed
three delegates. AS now constituted, the
council represents 10000 workmen. The
object of the council IS to centralize the
united efforts and experiences of the vari-
Gus societies engaged in the erection of
buildings. The constitution announces
that whenever an advance of wages or an
infringement of hours is desired the union
so desiring shall report the matter through
its delegates to the council, and two
thirds vote of the council will be necessary
to so order.

THE ACTIVE MIND.

A Sad Truth 1t Is That Intemperance IS
Apt to Aim at Shining Mark.
The Peoples Health Journal is doing
a good work in calling attention to tho
evil effects of alcohol, and as it does
this from a medical and scientific stand
point, the logic of these facts is ire
sistible.
In a recent lecture before his class,
DIR. William Todd Helmuth said: "Noy
shall L tell you what, in my opinion,
has blighted more brilliant minds in
the profess on than any thing else?
What has wrecked the high hopes and
noble aspirations of hundreds Of bright,
men, such as you are? 1t is alcohol! I.
I need not enter here upon the physio-.
logical question as to action of alcohol
as food as in disease. In my opinion,
especially in surgical practice, it is,
necessary; what refer to now is the
use of alcohol as beverage, as slim
ulant taken by healthy young
men to excite their nervous
systems. Let me illustrate tins to the
point. Every man and woman in
the assemblage, l am sure, knows OF
some friend, some relative, some enes
perhaps near and dear to them, whose
lives have been sacrificed to alcohol,
Fix such one in your mind and ask
yourselves the question, what was the
character and temperament of that
man? Was he a fool, Ounce, man
whose mind worked slowly, whose
perceptions were obtuse, whose intel.
lect was plodding. whose affections
were cold? Oh, no! 1t was the bright
boy, the loving lad, the youth at the
head of his class, the boy who loved his
mother, whose capacities of mind were
large, whose heart was big, whore
aspirations were high, the idol of his
household, the admiration of his friends;
who allowed his monster to take out
of him all that was good and honest
and true and Moble and brave in life's
battle; that smothered his morality,
killed his mind, diseased his body and
sent him perhaps disgraced to a pre-
mature grave, or what is ten thousand
times more deplorable, plade him an
outcast and a wanderer on the face of
the earts.
"There is predisposition, and per-
haps an hereditary tendency to aiGo-
holism, that renders alcohol dangerous
to temperaments such as l have de-
scribed. and when we remember that,
nearly eight-tenths of all the crimes that
are committed in this country can be
attributed either directly or indirectly
to strong drink, and when you aro
made aware of the seductive nature of
the habit, you will see that, to some,
alcohol is the rankest of all poisOns.
the very bane of existence, the smoth"
erer of all manly sentiment, the deso~
later of home, the ruiner of regulations
the father of poverty and shame, dis
ease producer and soul-destroyer."

He STOPPED to Think.

A mechanic who had been in the
habit of dropping into a beer saloon
twice day and spending five cents
each time for a glass Of beer was capti-
waited one day by new thought 81
am poor he said to himself; my
family need every cent can earn; it is
growing more and more expensive
every year; soon | shall want to edu-
cate my children. Ten cents day for
beeri Let me see: that is sixty cents
week. That is thirty-one dollars and
fifty cents year! And it does me no
good; it may do me harm. Let me see"

hundred pounds of sugar, five pounds
of tea and six bushels Of potatoes for

possession of himself, he then ek-
claimed: 81 will never waste another
cent on beer" He never has, and he
